The eccentric dictator said in a speech Saturday night that cables leaked by WikiLeaks detailing the spending of Tunisian dictator Zine al-Abedine ben Ali and his family were planted by ambassadors to push along the Tunisian uprising.

The cable he was most likely referring to was a cable sent by the U.S. embassy in Tunis, describing Ben Ali's family as corrupt and a "quasi-mafia."

"I am concerned for the people of Tunisia, whose sons are dying every day," Khadafy said in an overnight speech according to British newspaper The Telegraph. "And for what? In order to have someone to become president instead of Ben Ali?"

"Tunisia is not a Wiki revolution," he tweeted. "The Tunisian people knew about corruption long ago. They alone are the catalysts of this unfolding drama."

Whether the latest WikiLeak actually had anything to do with the uprising or not, the Libyan leader may have reason to worry -- and not just for the Tunisians.

Since the Tunisian uprisings, many longtime leaders in the region have been anxious about their own populations being inspired by the uprising that drove Ben Ali from the country and sparked chaos. Libya also suffers from many of the same problems facing Tunisia: a relatively educated population facing large unemployment, The Telegraph pointed out.

Khadafy seems to be trying to stay a step ahead of any growing resentment with the speech and small measures to try to keep his citizens happy.

Last week in Libya, the government abolished taxes and duties on food products after violent clashes in Tunisia and Algeria over food costs, Reuters reported.

In the speech on Sunday night, he also warned of the effects that the revolution would have on Tunisia.

"Tunisia, a developed country that is a tourist destination, is becoming prey to hooded gangs, to thefts and fire," he said.
